Hi there,
I have been aweful with my teeth when i was younger by being stupid enough to eat large amounts of carbs and brush my teeth once a day ... that silly 1 year stunt has left me with several areas of decalcification (mostly around the gumline of the teeth). So because of these decal'ed (as seen by white lines on my teeth) cavities (the black dots that grow over time) start appearing over the years despite my obsessive regimen of brushing within 20mins after eating each day and flosing each time (so on avg i brush and floss 3x a day). And i also use mouth wash jsut before brushing. I also use a scalar once a month to scrape off any plaque. But yet cavities STILL keep appearing. My only hope is to buy some really effective fluroide mix (not the lame-ass amounts in toothpaste or in water) that will produce a more effective guard on my teeth, and hopefully restore them to a better health over time. Is there a fluroide rinse, or ideally some kind of solid mix i can pack betweeen my teeth (like at the dentist office) each morning to help my teeth out? I want ot be able to purchase this online or through some black market if i have to. I've asked my dentist but the prices are insane...Online, i am hoping to find a cheaper deal for the same effectiveness. Thanks |

Johnson and Johnson make ACT mouthwash, a fluoride rinse. It is sold
in the US, and can be ordered online. http://www.jnjoralhealth.com/act/professionals.html I couldn't find anything at the Shoppers Drug Mart website. In the US, it is sold at grocery stores, discount stores, pharmacies, etc. Places like Kroger, Ralph's, Rite Aid, Target, Walmart, etc. So maybe Zellers or Canadian Tire or who knows where. If you're near the border, cross over and pick some up. Any chance you're brushing too hard or too often? That plays havoc on enamel. If your brush looks like an old broom after a few weeks, you're brushing too hard. Other ways to keep your teeth clean include chewing sugarless gum after eating or eating cheese at the end of a meal. The casseins in cheese supposedly suppress cavity bacteria. There are even chewing gums that have these added, to improve teeth cleaning between brushing. Greg Zywicki |

And don't you think that fluoride mouth wash, even if expensive, is a heck of a lot cheaper than fillings? I've used the stuff, I didn't think it was THAT expensive, especially if you use the higher concentration that only needs to be used once a week. A bottle lasts for a few months. Gabby |

You think that's expensive, just wait till they start yanking your teeth. Then replacing them. Expensive will have a whole new meaning. nancy |

What my dentist told me is that, as one grows older <sigh>, one's gums recede, leaving the newly "revealed" tooth bits vulnerable.

It's a fad. Listerine may kill some germs, but believe me, the bulk remains in your mouth, especially in the crevices between your teeth, et cetera. Listerine is nothing more that one of the many legends which have been propagated by our media. Rich -- "Dum Spiro, Spero." As long as I breath, I hope.
